First off, here in good old 'Murica there are ample guns to utilize which would quickly turn any zombie battle in the favor of the survivors. Make sure that they train properly and we'd probably turn any encounter with the zombies into a one-sided slaughter in our favor. Depending on what kind of zombies we would also likely be able to almost entirely negate them via proper armor. So it's got the highest chances of survival. Plus food would be untouched (unlike in nuclear) and the risk of infection spreading is a lot lower than with world-wide disease and, if it does, it isn't an almost guarenteed death. As for despotism, it's really simple. I'm assuming that this 'civilization' is relatively small since it's made of survivors. In this case it's key that things get done fast and efficiently with minimal interference. A single person providing directives is much better at that then a democracy. Maybe once things settle down the government can be converted or, at the least, get proper laws set down, but initially I'd go with despot. Women's right are gonna be such a freaking pain... Finally... I dunno. I'm trained in the use of guns and have quite a bit of knowledge but I'm not physically fit either. I think my survival would depend entirely on me being able to withstand a zombie attack as opposed to outrunning it. If I could do that, however, my survival would probably be near-guarenteed. The biggest question, IMO, is how depleted the population would be. 10% dying as a result of zombies would be terrible but certainly survivable. Even 50% would still leave a lot of locals. I'd say we'd need 70-80% dead/turned for it to really threaten my survival chances. Though the REAL big thing is 'what would the government do?' I mean, it's not just going to vanish overnight. Most likely there will be a mass depletion followed by minor survivor encampments that the government will proceed to re-affirm contact with. Edit: As for where I'd want to set up; probably Kansas. The mid-west for certain or, failing that, somewhere with lots of mountains for easy defense. --- I am the gentle hand who heals, the happy smile who shields, and the foot that will kick your *! - White Mage <cite>Unbridled9 posted [p:913446483] in Stan By Ge...
